Project 365 d-149

     Wow. What else can I say? Once again a shortage of time left me scrambling to photograph today. Out of twenty photographs the last two were just unexpected. In fact, as I was taking them; I thought, "Why are you photographing this?" It just goes to show you that you never know what you will find when you photograph each day. As I travel deeper each day into this year long project; I still suffer from a lack of faith. Yet nearly everyday I find something that works. Not always jump off the page, but something to take the place for that moment and carry me on to the next day.

     It had only been five minutes since I veered into this recreation area in hopes of catching a water skier being pulled by a fast moving boat, or some other exciting thing. There were some boaters in the water, but nobody on skies. The sunset was well beyond the magic point, and I had nothing to show for my efforts thus far. The mosquitoes were hovering hungrily around me and swooping at me in waves. I have been doing this long enough to know when it's not happening and to just move on. As I approached my idling vehicle as I walked back from the a boat ram; I was just struck by my tail lights. Big deal right? That nagging inner voice told me to photograph, and I have learned to listen to it. So I did just that. Two frames and each with a little different angle.

     Does it look like a tail light? Does that really matter? It could be anything you want it to be. That is the great thing about photos like this. If you look long enough it could be the glaring, evil eyes of a robot. Maybe an illuminated number eight? To me it's all about the darkness trying to swallow up the glowing red. Seeing it come to life on my screen just renewed my faith in this project. Believing that tomorrow will produce another image, and I will make it till the end. That sounds good. God, thank you for my daily image, and may you grant me another image tomorrow, and everyday after till the end, Amen.

Happy Shooting.
